1. A New
   Industrial Revolution
   By Ryan and Nathan
2. What conditions spurred the Growth of industry?
3. In the early 1800s the first industrial revolution changed production forever, this new industrial revolution would change American life forever
4. Why Industry Boomed
5. Westward expansion had perfect conditions due to the rich amounts of coal, iron, lead, and copper, along with the many forests for lumber. The government also gave large land grantsand other things to businesses, along with high tariffs on imported goods.
6. Steel and Oil
7. In 1859, workers in Titusville, Pennsylvania found America's first oil, and soon developed methods to refine oil into lubricants and gasoline.
8. Pittsburgh became the steel-making capital of the U.S. due to the nearby coal mines and good transportation.
9. In the 1850's, the Bessemer process was developed by inventors, which made stronger steel at a relatively low cost. As a result, steel replaced iron as the normal building material.
10. Railroad BOOM
11. Railroads really helped fuel industrial growth. Trains were the main mode of transportation for both people and goods between the East and the West. As they became more relevant, the companies became very competitive, and tried to find unique ways to eliminate competition. Some railroads joind, and others gave unofficial discounts to their most frequent customers.
12. In the late 1800s, many new inventions were created. Globally, the U.S. became known for inventions. New inventions were made almost every day.
13. Inventors and Inventions
14. Edison's Invention Factory was created in Menlo Park, New Jersey in 1876.
15. Edison created the motion picture camera,
16. the phonograph,
17. , and the light bulb, along with many other inventions,
18. including the world's first powerplant.
19. Communication
    Revolution
20. In 1876, Alexander Graham bell sent the first telephone message. More than 300,000 phones were sold by 1885, making it the most profitable patent of all time.
21. Devices for Home and Offices
22. In 1868, Christopher Sholes invented the type-writer, which greatly increased typing speeds.
23. In 1888, George "Kodak" Eastman created the first lightweight camera, and, due to the low price, normal people could buy it.
24. African American Inventions
25. Jan Matzeliger created a machine that sewed the tops to shoe soles, changing the shoe industry forever. Meanwhile, Granville Woods created a method to send telegraphs between moving trains.
26. A transportation revolution
27. In the late 1800s, the automobile was developed in Europe, and finally allowed people to move at a faster speed, without the need of tracks.
28. The wright brothers
29. In 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright tested the first gas-powered airplane in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
30. Surprisingly, nobody really found any practical use for a plane until World War I. By the 1920s, after WW1, the airplane was changing the world through fast, long distance travel.
31. Henry Ford
32. Before Henry Ford was around, only 8,000 Americans owned automobiles, but Ford made cars available to millions through his ideas of mass-production.
33. In 1913, Ford created the assembly line, which means the product is put together as it moves down a conveyor belt, which sliced production time in half. Only five years after this invention, over 4.5 million Americans owned cars.
